Sandy M’s review of Love is Blind by Lynsay Sands Historical Romance published by Leisure Books 1 Aug 06 I’ve been able to keep up with Lynsay Sands’ current historicals, but I’ve yet to read her earlier work. It seemed fate was wanting me to do so, therefore, when my historical romance chat group chose [...]

I look at this cover now and think how crazy I was to judge the fantasy story inside as something I probably wouldn’t like. Now this cover as well as the other four in this series are some of my favorites. The old saying is true: Don’t judge a book its cover. This is the [...]

Sandy M’s review of Stroke of Genius by Emily Bryan Historical Romance published by Leisure Books 25 May 10 I read the back cover blurb of this book and groaned. Haven’t we read this before? But then when I got into the book, there’s a couple things in the blurb that are just plain wrong. [...]

Sandy M’s review of Montana Dawn by Caroline Fyffe Historical Western Romance published by Leisure Books 27 Jul 10 I said in my review of Ms. Fyffe’s debut book, Where the Wind Blows, that she’s an author to keep an eye on. With Montana Dawn, she solidifies that opinion for me. Her books are heart-warming, [...]

Sandy M’s review of Shadow Bound (Shadow Series, Book 1) by Erin Kellison Paranormal Romance published by Leisure Books 29 Jun 10 I just love it when I find a debut author who wows me. Erin Kellison has written a mind-blowing first novel, full of fae, death, darkness, wraiths, and, of course, love and romance [...]

Sandy M’s review of Destined to Last (Providence Series, Book 4) by Alissa Johnson Historical Romance published by Leisure Books 30 Mar 10 I’m very sad to see this series end. It’s been fun, entertaining, and very romantic. Ms. Johnson has been consistent with her characters and the main plot of the series in which [...]

Liviania’s review of The Fire King (Dirk & Steele, Book 10) by Marjorie M. Liu Paranormal romance released by Leisure Books 28 July 09 Marjorie M. Liu has written a large number of books in the Dirk & Steele series.  The Fire King is my second, and just as satisfying as the first one I [...]

Sandy M’s review of Queen of Song and Souls (Tairen Soul, Book 4) by C.L. Wilson Fantasy Romance published by Leisure Books 27 Oct 09 This is one of those books you can’t wait to get your hands on. Anticipation courses through you as you open it up and finally get a taste of the [...]

Dawna’s review of Soul Song (Dirk and Steele, Book 6) by Marjorie M. Liu Paranormal Romance published by Leisure Books 3 Jul 07 I’ve always been told never judge a book by its cover. But when I glanced the sexy man emerging out of the turbulent ocean depths, ready to walk right off the page, [...]

Sandy M’s review of Where the Wind Blows by Caroline Fyffe Historical Western Romance published by Leisure Books 28 Jul 09 Every now and then a book comes along that is just so tender, so lovely you can’t help the emotions that roll through you. Every now and then an author comes along, who can [...]

I know you’ve all been saying to yourself, “Self, I have not read any scintillating content from Shannon C. lately. Does she not love us anymore?” To which the answer is, no. I’ve just been behind on reviewing, and I’ve been kind of underwhelmed by a lot of the romances I’ve picked up. Still, I [...]

Sandy M’s review of Tekgrrl (EHJ Series, Book 2) by A.J. Menden Futuristic Paranormal Romance released by Leisure Books 26 May 09 I’ve stewed about this book for a few days after finishing it. Dorchester has discontinued their Shomi line, which is where this book would have been published if the line was still around. [...]

Sandy M’s review of A Little Light Magic by Joy Nash Contemporary Paranormal Romance released by Leisure 26 May 09 What a wonderful book this is! I enjoyed every last word of it. It’s that perfect book to sit on the beach, on the patio, under a huge shade tree and just lose yourself in. [...]

Sandy M’s review of Eternal Craving (Gods of the Nights, Book 2) by Nina Bangs Paranormal romance released by Leisure Books 28 Apr 09 Nina Bangs always surprises me when I read her books. There’s usually a little something — the book starts out slow, a certain character bugs me, whatever — that makes me [...]

Sandy M’s review of The Madness of Lord Ian Mackenzie (Highland Pleasures, Book 1) by Jennifer Ashley Historical Romance published by Leisure Books 28 Apr 09 I have to tell you, when reading the first few pages of this book, I was so sure I wasn’t going to like it. Mad Lord Ian buying a [...]
